Let’s look at how they help:

Son de bajo costo

Although some apps include additional features you must pay for, many are are inexpensive or even free. Most have reasonably affordable subscription options.

While you shouldn’t rely on smartphone apps to spearhead your recovery, you might find that they offset the cost of more expensive treatment options.

They are available around the clock

Perhaps you have a busy schedule and can’t make weekly therapist visits. Or maybe your meeting at work ran long and now you can’t make it to AA on time.

Using an app can provide vital support when you find yourself too busy. You can also talk to other people in recovery nearby, read The Big Book or even connect to a therapist online.

If you’re at a stage of recovery where you’re uncomfortable getting help in person, many apps are designed to keep you anonymous. You can connect with others without having to reveal any identifying information.
